My A4 is stock except for a tranny cooler, Trans-Go Shift kit, and SSF 3500 stall. Lately it has been delaying the shift from 2-3. Anyone else had this problem? It only happens under wide open throttle.

Tagging the rev limiter?

slipping, time for rebuilt.

2001/2002 PCMs don't like 3500+ converters. You must have trouble codes for the shift-b solenoid disabled or else it will cause numerous problems with shifting. It doesn't happen right away, always take a while to show up.

Thanks for the input. The computer was tuned by TSP for the larger stall. I got one full season out of it with no problems. I guess it is time for a rebuild.

It has never hit the rev limiter. It just delays for about half a second.

Ok why hasn't FLT or Yank told me about this?? I've got about 150 miles on my new setup and I want it to last...

Is that really a known fact?

Red Heartbeat is correct in what he said.Traver

Tuning will cure that.

I talked to FLT today and they said not to worry about it...maybe its only an issue with the stock tranny?

Mine would also do that when I had Hypertech tuning installed. When I got the predator it went away. It sounds like a tuning issue as someone else has pointed out. Under part throttle mine would almost seem to slip for a second then it would shift to third so it sounds like the same problem. I had no idea what to do back then so I put the tuning back to stock even when I had 3:73 gears.

glad this q? came up i have hpp3 on my 99, its stock w/ a stock conv. too and started doing the same thing, when i get on it it doesnt want to shift firmly into 3rd it almost lags for a second too, i had it set on 50% firm, im going to try to scale it back to 25% and see what happens

BORN2LOSE

When I had the hypertech I tried everything. I sent it back for several new updates (This was in 2000) and it never fixed the problem. I don't know. Maybe they have a fix now but if you don't send it back sell it. Get ls1edit, custom tunning or the predator. One of the best things I've done was getting rid of torque management and I don't think you can do that with the HPP. It was a whole new beast after it was gone.

i might just drive it down the street to hypertech and see what they tell me they are only about 10 miles from where i live, thanks for the heads up

Finally a good topic just got mine rebulit with a 2,800 stall today and mine delays the shifts in 2nd and 3rd to the rev limiter have a predator can anyone help?

Don't know my man. If you are hitting the rev limiter its something different than what happend to me. You may want to mess with the shift points and or the rev limit. Or get someone to tune it for you.

born2lose did you use your predator to take off torque management. If so how'd ya do it. I've got a predator and would like to take torque management out if I could.
